What Are My Dining Options?

Guests may choose from three different dinner seating options. By popular request, all dining rooms are smoke-free.

Assigned Seating - Early Dining and Late Dining
This dining option offers guests a pre-set dining time for the duration of the cruise as well as the same table assignment each evening in the Main Dining Room. Guests who choose this option will not be able to reserve 'Your Time' open seating once on board.  Early dining may be scheduled between 5:30pm and 6:00pm and late dining, between 7:45pm and 8:15pm.*

'Your Time Dining' Open Seating
'Your Time Dining' is offered fleet wide.  Guests are seated on a first-come, first-served basis, depending on party size, and in most cases, are accommodated within 20 minutes. Advance table reservations are not accepted. Guests using Carnival's HUB App can check-in for 'Your Time Dining' ahead of time or check-in when they are ready to go. The App will alert the guests when their table is ready and show the table number. All guests must be present in order for the party to be seated. The table will be held for 10 minutes. Your Time Dining is generally offered between 5:00pm and 9:00pm.* 

Parties greater than 8 guests may need to be accommodated at several tables and the wait can sometimes be more than one hour. We highly suggest that parties of 8 or more guests choose an assigned seating to ensure sitting together at one table or several tables close together

*Actual times will vary based on ship and itinerary, and will be listed in the daily ‘Fun Times’ and Carnival HUB App.
At time of booking, guests will be able to confirm their preferred dining choice. If their preference is not available, they may confirm an alternate time and be waitlisted for their preferred choice (there is no guarantee a waitlist will clear). When possible, waitlists will be cleared prior to the sailing and guests will be notified by email. Traveling parties who are waitlisted together will be cleared on the same dining time.

Cross-referencing bookings does not guarantee parties will be seated together. They must be confirmed on the same dining time to ensure they will be able to dine together.

For those guests who choose early or late dining, the assigned dining room, time and table number, will be printed on the guests' Sail & Sign® card.
 
Additional Dining Options
In addition, guests may opt for casual bistro dining in the Lido Deck Restaurant or a more intimate and elegant atmosphere in the Steakhouse and other specialty dining venues. Please note, specialty dining options may have an additional charge. Restaurants and dining options vary by ship. Review dining options here.  
  
NOTE:  Menu items (excluding Steakhouse Selections) are complimentary in the main dining room.  Guests can order a second entrée, keeping in mind they can also request half portions if something looks too enticing to pass up.  If a third entrée is ordered, a US$5 charge will be assessed.
